Every time I take it test or quiz feeling like I know this stuff I still end up getting parts of it wrong. This video is the most clear on TH-cam and uses the most realistic accounts/scenarios in terms of quiz/test material. Got my first 100% on a cash flow statement yesterday. Thank you for your help
THANK YOU!!!!! I have been so confused on how to calculate depreciation expense when there is no disposal of equipment. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
EXCELLENT lesson! You are a great teacher. I appreciate your detailed presentation. Best I've seen on TH-cam. Plus your voice is so pleasant to listen to. I am in a nonprofit organization. We do not have stock but do have restricted gifts. Do changes to restricted cash go in the section on financing activities? Do i just record the increase or decrease in cash that is not unrestricted? Anything else nonprofits need to include in their statement of cash flows?
I am glad we were able to help! My background is only in for profit organizations, but I looked up some resources for you: www.accountingcoach.com/nonprofit-accounting/explanation/4 www.picpa.org/articles/picpa-news/2017/11/30/restricted-cash-and-the-statement-of-cash-flows
Jesus, i just learned more about the statement of cash flows in that 15 minute video than I did behind a class for hours. Seriously, straight to the point, and great tips with the abbreviations and general rules. Do you have online classes about accounting besides on youtube?
11:13 correct me if i'm wrong but i think you made mistake there, added issuance of stock should be 25k instead of 45k, they already had 20k in shares outstanding
@@undervalueds amount of common stock for previous year was 20k, 45k was the share capital balance of the year after. shouldn't it be (45-20=) 25k instead?
Think about the journal entry that is used when we issue common stock: Cash (Dr.) Common Stock (Cr.) Paid-in capital in excess of par (Cr.--or occasionally debit) In this case, common stock increased by 25,000 yes, but as @Undervalued S said above, you *must* also look at paid-in capital. During the period, paid-in capital increased by $20,000. That means that the total cash we must have received for this issuance was $45,000. Here is the journal entry to show how it would look from the double-entry side of things: Cash Dr. 45,000 Common stock Cr. 25,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par Cr. 20,000 Keep in mind that this is a statement of cash flows--we want to know how much we received in *cash* for issuing that stock and that will be the sum of the change in common stock and the change in PIC. :)
the "gain on sale of investment" should be negative, because the gain was already recorded on the income statement, therefore, we should subtract it. if it is not the case pls explain THANK YOU
Not quite. Depreciation expense always gets *added*. This is because we are starting with net income, which has already deducted out the depreciation as an expense. However, this is a cash flow statement, and since depreciation expense is not cash related, we add it back. :)
When I use preceding retained earnings add net income deduct dividends paid is not equal to current year retained earnings. 57,800 + 38,300 - 50,200 = 45,900 There is 200 difference with current year retained earnings.
There is an error in your formula. We do not deduct dividends paid. You must deduct dividends *declared*. Beginning retained earnings + net income - dividends declared = ending retained earnings 57,800 + 38,300 - 50,000 = 46,100
I am confused about one thing; There is a change of 25,000 in our Stocks, we started at 20,000 and ended at 45,000. Why are we cataloguing the FULL ending balance of stocks issued and not the change, since the change represents the inflow of cash from the issuance of stock, and the 45,000 is the ENDING of our cash inflow of our stock?
Thank you for your video. Just one question please. Shouldn't the net income figure be equal to the difference of the retained earnings between the preceding and current year? Thank you
@@accountinghelp Amazing, it makes sense now to me as 38300 earnings - 50000 dividends = 11700 which is what is shown on the statement of financial position. Thank you very much
Hello Adriana, loss and gains on PPE and other investments are handled the same way as regular investments. The cash received is listed as an increase under the investing section, and the gain (or loss) is deducted (or added if it is a loss) in the operating section. Go to minute/second marker 5:50 to see this in action! :)
Hi thank you for the video, just a quick question...for that dividends. If we're not paying anything in this year, it's shud be 500,000+700=50,700, then we paid 200 so that at the end of the year there's only 500 payable left. So shudn't it be 50700-200 instead of -500? I don't really understand why substracting 500 instead of 200? thanx...
Hello Iynur, If we did not pay any cash dividends for the current year, then the dividends paid would be 0. It may help to think of it this way. At the beginning of the year, we owed $700 in dividends. During the year, we declared an additional $50,000, which brings our dividends payable balance to $50,700. However, at the end of the year, we see that we only have a $500 balance in dividends payable. That means that we paid: $50,700 (previous balance) - $500 (final balance) = $50,200. Remember that the dividends payable balance *decreases* when we pay dividends and that dividends payable are essentially "dividends owed". Does this help? :)
TLC Tutoring thanks for the reply, it’s very helpful! Sorry that I found another question when I was reviewing this. I noticed that you directly deducted purchase of land and equipment(I understood this as pp&e) under cfi. When I was doing the whole thing i deducted Capex(in this case158,000+60,000-102,000+8,000=12,400)under cfi...there’s a difference of depreciation between Capex and pp&e so I’m really confused when I should deduct pp&e and when i should deduct Capex? Cuz once we deducted Capex, there seems no need to record pp&e under cfi as well? Thannnnnks!!!!
Not quite. If accumulated depreciation is going down, that means that we sold equipment. Keep in mind that it isn't the accumulated depreciation that we are adding, it is actually the depreciating expense, which in this case is reflected in accumulated depreciation simply because we did not dispose or sell equipment. To determine the actual depreciation expense during the year if there is a disposal or sale of equipment, try plugging the following formula for depreciation expense: beginning accumulated depreciation balance + depreciation expense - accumulated depreciation removed for the year due to disposals or sales of equipment = ending accumulated depreciation balance.
@@accountinghelp Thankyou! Also, I had a question where I was only given a statement of financial position and not a profit or loss statement. How would I calculate the profit before tax in this situation? (the answer did not show the working)
$ 25,000 gain on sale of the investment is already included in the Net income. So, we can just adjust for the sale of the investment for $ 70,000. Why do we have to deduct the $ 25000 from the operating section and then add back the whole amount of $ 95,000 in the investment section?
It is the section of the cash flow statement that is important. The operating section is just supposed to show the cash flow from general operating activities. Gains and losses are not operating activities. Since the gain is already included in the net income, we deduct it back out to reconcile it back to operating. Then we show the cash inflow from the sale of the investments in the investing section so that we can accurately depict the investing cash flows.
No, it does not. Accumulated depreciation increased during the period, and since that column tracks increases/decreases, the parentheses are removed to show that it increased.
Please, can anyone explain to me the "why's" behind the increase and decrease on the Adjustment on Working Capital. I know how it is done but I just don't understand why it is done.
I think that the easiest way to understand the why behind these adjustments is to analyze two accounts. The first one is accounts receivable. If accounts receivable went down from one year to another, that means that we received more cash than sales were added. Which is why when accounts receivable goes down, we would add to net income in our adjustment. For accounts payable, if accounts payable goes down, that means that we paid off more than what we added to it, which is why when accounts payable decreases it would be a negative adjustment. Current assets move in the opposite direction, while current liabilities move in the same direction.
Thank you so much for this video .. can i ask ? How to calculate the purchase of non-current asset if there is deficit or surplus in fair value and the asset was disposed ?
Hello Adaeze, for disposals, we would have to take into account any changes in accumulated depreciation due to write offs of accumulated depreciation for disposal. For example, let's say that accumulated depreciation went up by $3,000 during the year. Let's also assume that we disposed a piece of equipment that had accumulated depreciation of $500. Then our depreciation expense for the year (and the amount going into our cash flow statement) would be 3000 + 500 = $3,500. This will take into account the depreciation expense for the equipment still remaining and also taking into account the depreciation related to the equipment disposal.
When you issue common stock, you need to remember that the change in cash is equal to 1. The change in the common stock account 2. The change in the paid-in capital account 25,000 + 20,000 = 45,000
Xinyi, accumulated depreciation is a contra asset account, so it *takes away* on the balance sheet. As you know, a negative number going further into a negative number might seem like it is a decrease, but think of it this way.... What would make accumulated depreciation go down? We would have to have sold some equipment. However, we know for a fact that they did not dispose of any equipment. Any change in accumulated depreciation therefore would be an increase for the recording of depreciation of equipment during the period. This is a very common error that I see with students, especially when they are trying to do things like analyze a change in contra accounts. Do not rely on simple math rules. Really THINK about what is happening in the big scheme of things. :) In this period, accumulated depreciation went *up*.
Because to determine the cash inflows and outflows you have start with the ending balance of the previous year to see the differences and transactions made in each account
@@blueviolets2106 Thank you for your answer. Could you please make a video and give an example, whereby the acc.depreciation has decreased compared to the last year.
@@mariajauslin1107 In the statement of cash flows, Depreciation is always ADDED back to net income. When you calculate the difference between the 2 years, that number will be added back to net income
@@blueviolets2106 Thank you for your answer. I had this exercise at the university www.quora.com/Depreciation-and-Cash-flow and I still cannot understand how much I should add to the net income.

Issuance of stock is 45000. The amount received for an issuance of stock is equal to the increase in common stock and paid-in capital in excess of par.

goodmorning, may I ask something? if there is unrealized gain in sale of trading securities? what will happen?
What should I use retained earning or the profit from the income statement for the net income?
I was born and raised in Detroit, and I can confirm that nobody here likes gangrene.
When I use preceding retained earnings add net income deduct dividends paid is not equal to current year retained earnings.
57,800 + 38,300 - 50,200 = 45,900 There is 200 difference with current year retained earnings.
There is an error in your formula. We do not deduct dividends paid. You must deduct dividends *declared*.

A decrease in A/P, does it mean that we are due to them or have we paid them?
If accounts payable decreases during the period, it means that we paid off more accounts payable that what we incurred during the period.
if give me Notes Payable where i put it ? in financing statement of cash flow or operating statement of cash flow
:) Thank you for your great effort
If we are *receiving cash* and giving a note payable, that would be an add under the "Cash Flows from Financing Activities" section.
What if there’s a decrease in accumulated depreciation??
Would it be deducted instead added?

The change in accumulated depreciation during the year + accumulated depreciation of the asset being disposed.
